How does Shakespeare use language and dialogue to create a sense of anxiety and frenzy among the conspirators just before the assassination? The conspirators exchange long explanations about their respect for Caesar and his leadership. The conspirators walk in silence and do not talk to each other until the assassination is complete. The conspirators exchange short bursts of one-syllable words, which shows their urgency and fear that the assassination might not succeed. The conspirators talk nonchalantly with other members of the crowd in an effort not to raise suspicion.
